why my mom rocks

i called my mom yesterday, griping and moaning about sadie's christmas dress.

my "practice dress" was....let's just say, i'm not going to be showing that one off. i was inspired by
this dress and these dresses, but didn't have a pattern or idea of how to make it.

mom to the rescue! she MADE me a pattern last night. yes, MADE!


while she baby sat sadie! well, she was asleep for part of it. (company christmas dinner for rory and i)

so here's the fabric. can't wait! hope i don't royally mess up. at least i know a good seamstress nearby who knows exactly how it's supposed to go together. :D

My mom amazes me that way, too. She can cut out pretty much anything using virtually no pattern at all! And do all sorts of fancy additional details without specific patterns or guidance. She inspires me! Here's to moms who taught their kids how to sew =)
